Since 2008, Entoure has been a leader in designing and managing boutique cycle events across the charitable sector and we are very proud of what we have been able to achieve with our clients. Our clients have been able to raise around $24 million dollars from our events, countless lives have been changed and riders have been given journeys of a life time that have taken them all over the country.
With the changes that face the world today, businesses must pivot and their offering needs to be special . So, whilst we will continue to drive the Entoure charitable business, say hello to Entoure De Vines.
Whilst Entoure events have been very much about riding a bike for a cause greater than oneself, Entoure De Vines is all about flipping that concept and offering a boutique experience to a small group of mates that simply feels priceless; it is all about Bikes, Mates and Grapes and the bespoke tours can be spec’d to meet the individual needs of the networks we engage and their particular budgets.
Entoure launched its charitable business in the Hunter Valley back in 2008 off the back of Meerea Park branding a bottle of their Aunts 2005 Shiraz. The bottle was given to riders who completed the ride as a thank you for their participation and for years we held wine lunches at Ballabourneen . Daniel Binet is the wine maker for Ballabourneen and also the wine maker for a stunning vineyard I now work part time at called Tinonee Vineyard Estate, in Broke; a vineyard we recently held a bikes, mates and grapes event at.
Bikes, Mates and Grapes tie in with the moments, the adventures, the challenges that I love; so Entoure de Vines feels very aligned to my personal passions in life no different to how the Entoure business was formed back in 2008. Whilst the bikes, mates and grapes adventures will be about the bike and spec’d to suit the clientele who engage us, the adventures will be just as much about the ambiance of where we stay and the wine and produce we consume and the music we listen too. The rides will be about disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with your mates and letting us take care of everything. Our goal is for repeat business and we will ensure what we provide is so good and so well tailored to each group, people will want to book their next trip before the current one is over.
Take a peek at our recent Ride the Vines event at beautiful Tinonee Vineyard Estate.
